Great, it's just a lackey, we're saved!

Chapter 224 Is Chen considered a nobody?

Inside the Fengtian Hall, everyone looked at A Bao with curiosity.

Although A Bao is an auspicious beast and extremely intelligent, a beast is still a beast and cannot speak human language, so how can he correct it?

With the court officials thinking this way, the Crown Prince became even more unscrupulous!

His long-suppressed emotions seemed to have found an outlet, and he burst into laughter, looking up at the sky.

After laughing, he didn't forget to mock Zhou Wei: "Zhou Dianjun, do you think all the officials in the court are fools?"

"I give this black and white beast some face, calling it an auspicious beast. If I don't give it face, it's just a beast!"

"A mere beast dares to testify against me?"

Upon hearing this, Abao froze, still not having reacted.

Zhou Wei laughed and nudged its belly: "Did you hear that? They said you're a beast!"

Abao was furious and roared as he charged toward the prince.

It was extremely fast. When it rushed in front of the prince, it not only opened its blood-red mouth but also raised its thick bear paws.

Faced with such a ferocious beast, even the most valiant warriors clad in armor dare not say they are not afraid!

Before the crown prince could react, his legs went weak and he sat down on the ground.

Just as A Bao was about to approach the Crown Prince, he braked suddenly, his massive body stopping right in front of the Crown Prince.

Its open mouth exhaled hot air and hovered above the prince's head.

Her grape-like eyes stared intently at the crown prince, her gaze full of mockery.

The prince felt a surge of anger rising within him at being so thoroughly mocked by a beast!

But he was no match for A Bao and had no courage to face A Bao directly. No matter how angry he was, he could only suppress his anger in his heart.

After showing off his power, A Bao walked slowly to Zhou Wei's side with a pigeon-toed gait, as docile as a kitten.

It had completely lost the ferocity it had shown earlier!

Abao barked twice at Zhou Wei, who then chuckled.

He said to the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, A Bao said it was just joking with you, but who knew you were so easily frightened."

"Ah Bao asked me to ask His Highness, 'You weren't so scared you wet your pants, were you?' Hahahaha!"

Abao nodded repeatedly, glancing at the prince's crotch, a gesture that made the prince even more ashamed and indignant.

He stood up abruptly and roared, "Insolence! I am still the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Wei, how dare you allow this beast to humiliate me like this?"

Zhou Wei smiled without saying a word, ignoring the Crown Prince's impotent rage.

So what if I've been insulted? What can you do about it?

Bai Xiaoxiao stopped the farce in time: "Alright, everyone stop. This is a grand court assembly. What kind of behavior is this, making a ruckus?"

The Crown Prince looked at her in shock: "Imperial Noble Consort, Zhou Wei, as a subject, disrespected the Crown Prince. Shouldn't she be punished?"

Bai Xiaoxiao frowned: "Yueshan, if Zhou Dianjun insulted you, he should naturally be punished, but it was Abao who insulted you. How do you expect me to punish him?"

What can you do if you can't beat a mythical beast in a fight and it won't listen to your commands?

Bai Xiaoxiao acted as if she had no choice, which infuriated the Crown Prince even more!

"Alright, Zhou Dianjun, you should also restrain Abao and stop it from scaring people again."

Zhou Wei bowed and said, "Your subject obeys the decree."

"Zhou Dianjun, since you say that Abao can testify against the Crown Prince, then let's get started!" Bai Xiaoxiao urged.

Zhou Wei patted A Bao's head, and A Bao cried out several times.

The court officials were all bewildered, but Zhou Wei listened and nodded.

After a long pause, she cupped her hands and said, "Your Highness, Abao said that he was captured by Mei Xingyue the day before yesterday. After pledging allegiance to the Crown Prince, he was taken by the Crown Prince that night... to do something big!"

The prince's expression changed, and he looked at A Bao with some fear.

He was certain that the news of taking A Bao and Jin Wuwei to the village in the southern suburbs to silence them would never get out.

Lu Zhiyan is determined to curry favor with him and would never betray him.

The Imperial Guards who went to silence him were also dealt with by Zhu Zhen, so they had no chance to betray him.

So, who exactly leaked this information?

The crown prince's face turned extremely ugly as he stared intently at A Bao, utterly disbelieving that a beast could communicate so fluently with Zhou Wei.

"Zhou Wei! Stop making up stories here," the Crown Prince angrily rebuked. "What auspicious beast testimony? I think you are just trying to use the auspicious beast to slander me."

Zhou Wei ignored the Crown Prince and addressed the crowd, saying, "A Bao can communicate with me. If any of you colleagues do not believe me, you are welcome to try."

After saying that, Zhou Wei began to instruct A Bao: "Go, do a somersault!"

A Bao immediately started doing somersaults inside the Fengtian Hall.

A round, black-and-white ball rolled around in the hall, attracting everyone's attention.

The court officials were also surprised that this seemingly enormous beast was so agile when it rolled around!

Wherever A Bao rolled, the courtiers there cried out in alarm.

Some of the bolder ones even reached out to touch him, and Abao didn't resist.

Those who touched it were overjoyed, while those who didn't were extremely disappointed, secretly cursing themselves for being too timid!

Even after A Bao rolled around and returned to Zhou Wei, some courtiers were still not satisfied.

Feng Polu even directly encouraged Zhou Wei: "General Zhou, let Abao do it again, do it again."

He only quieted down after being glared at fiercely by A Bao as a warning.

I'm a spirit beast, at least roll around once as a token gesture. Do you really think I'm a monkey?

"As you all have seen, Abao and I are of one mind. It can understand everything I say, and I can understand everything it says."

The officials immediately stopped questioning, and Bai Xiaoxiao raised her hand to signal Zhou Wei to continue.

"Abao said that the big thing the Crown Prince did with it was to follow a group of Imperial Guards out of the city at night to the southern suburbs to kill and silence witnesses!"

"Abao used his keen sense of smell to find survivors and demolish houses, while the Jinwu Guards were responsible for silencing them."

"In order to protect his role in guiding the beast tide, the prince ruthlessly slaughtered the surviving villagers."

"To act so cruelly is unbecoming of a human being!"

Upon hearing this, all the court officials looked at the Crown Prince, wanting to see how he would defend himself.

The prince was deathly pale, utterly unable to believe that a beast could be so intelligent.

He quickly reviewed the execution in his mind, and after confirming that there were no mistakes, the color gradually returned to his face.

His composure gradually returned, and he looked at Zhou Wei with the air of a superior: "Take the words of a beast as proof, I have never heard of such a thing!"

"If the Imperial Noble Consort and the court officials truly believe Zhou Wei's one-sided story, it will surely become a laughing stock for the whole world."

"As the crown prince alone, I can accept criticism, but I will never accept criticism from a beast."

“Zhou Wei, if you insist on slandering me, then produce solid evidence instead of using a beast as a pretext.”

"Don't think that you can pin the blame for leading the beast tide on me by just finding some random cats and dogs as witnesses!"

The eldest princess looked at the crown prince, shook her head, and sighed.

Her half-brother, as expected, won't shed a tear until he sees the coffin!

Despite so much evidence pointing to him, he still stubbornly refuses to admit it.

If it were someone else facing Jiang Yueshan today, they might have been defeated.

Unfortunately, he ended up meeting himself and Zhou Wei.

At this moment, Chen Wenyu, who had been indifferent and merely observing from the sidelines, suddenly stepped forward.

He looked at the Crown Prince and said, "Your Highness, I wonder if my presence here as a witness counts as the 'cat and dog' you mentioned?"
